Randy’s Pick
The Toronto Blue Jays still can't string together offense, an issue that's going on two weeks and becoming a bit of a concern. The Minnesota Twins are at home where they're usually at their best and Pablo Lopez is starting to settle in with his new team. Lopez has a 3.75 ERA and 29 strikeouts in his last innings. Give me the Twins and the cheap price.
